To better understand the messages children encounter in books, we introduce new artificial intelligence methods for systematically converting images into data. We apply these image tools, along with established text analysis methods, to measure the representation of race, gender, and age in children\u2019s books commonly found in US schools and homes over the last century. We find that more characters with darker skin color appear over time, but &#8220;mainstream&#8221; award-winning books, which are twice as likely to be checked out from libraries, persistently depict more lighter-skinned characters even after conditioning on perceived race. Across all books, children are depicted with lighter skin than adults. Over time, females are increasingly present but are more represented in images than in text, suggesting greater symbolic inclusion in pictures than substantive inclusion in stories. Relative to their growing share of the US population, Black and Latinx people are underrepresented in the mainstream collection; males, particularly White males, are persistently overrepresented. Our data provide a view into the &#8220;black box&#8221; of education through children\u2019s books in US schools and homes, highlighting what has changed and what has endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speaker Bio<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" src=\"https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/~ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1-1024x874.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1-1024x874.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1-150x128.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1-768x655.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sail.usc.edu\/ccmi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Anjali-Adukia-Headshot-1.jpg 1402w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Anjali Adukia is an assistant professor at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/\/harris.uchicago.edu\/__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!6g9G2F7bGy1hgW4aQSVZBtNmv_HgUNf6En2MrUB9ZSClGRqUWDLDR-vb4wjtrVw$\">University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and the College<\/a>&nbsp;and the director of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__http:\/\/miielab.com\/__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!6g9G2F7bGy1hgW4aQSVZBtNmv_HgUNf6En2MrUB9ZSClGRqUWDLDR-vbTtCGIbM$\">MiiE Lab<\/a>&nbsp;(Messages, Identity, and Inclusion in Education).
